Here is a pic I did of Gilgamesh from FF5.

Gilgamesh

I decided to try and color it with Corel PhotoPaint. It turned out worse than I thought it would. I just can't seem to color anything well on the computer. And his yellow leg armor doesn't look too hot. I guess I kind of ruined the pic by giving it color, 'cause I thought the line drawing look pretty good.

Overall, though, I like it. The only reference I had for this pic was the little pixel of him in the FF5 boss section on CON. I took some liberties but my pic isn't too far off from the pixel pic.

See if you can point out some of the differences.

It's great. The details on the Arms and legs are amazing. Also i like the way the weapons turned out. The stance is freakin jawsome.

I think it's excellent. I know what you mean about coloring on the computer; I can't do it too well myself. It's a good coloring job nevertheless.

One thing about his, uh, upper left hand: it looks like he's either giving the finger to someone behind him (which is understandble, given the character) or he has one less finger than he should. If it's supposed to be that way then just ignore me.

Overall, it's a pretty sweet drawing!

No, no he is holding a piece of paper. I think its called a sutra (something to ward off demons or something like that). But anyway, his index finger is behind the sutra and his middle finger is in front.

Ah, I see. I'm not as observant as I thought (well, not today anyway). smile.gif

Just another excellent submission from a guy who is quickly becoming my favorite new fanartist on forums. Great job, and I feel your pain about ink and coloring jobs on the computer - though this one turned out well, I think.
